请描述一下这个错误：

Vorland’s government is planning a nationwide ban on smoking in restaurants. The objection that the ban would reduce restaurants’ revenues is ill founded. Several towns in Vorland enacted restaurant smoking restrictions five years ago. Since then, the amount the government collects in restaurant meal taxes in those towns has increased 34 percent, on average, but only 26 percent elsewhere in Vorland. The amount collected in restaurant meal taxes closely reflects restaurants’ revenues.

Which of the following, if true, most undermines the defense of the government’s plan?

A

When the state first imposed a restaurant meal tax, opponents predicted that restaurants’ revenues would decline as a result, a prediction that proved to be correct in the short term.

分析A选项

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

B

The tax on meals in restaurants is higher than the tax on many other goods and services.

分析B选项

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

C

Over the last five years, smoking has steadily declined throughout Vorland.

分析C选项

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

D

In many of the towns that restrict smoking in restaurants, restaurants can maintain separate dining areas where smoking is permitted.

分析D选项

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

E

Over the last five years, government revenues from sales taxes have grown no faster in the towns with restaurant smoking restrictions than in the towns that have no such restrictions.

观点：government要在餐厅禁烟，且说禁烟会影响收入是不对的。
例证：Vorland中禁烟的town的餐税收入的增加比没禁烟的药多，餐税收入反应了总收入。
问题：要削弱government，即正确答案的方向是说禁烟会影响收入。
解题：要注意最后那句话“餐税收入反应总收入” 也就是说例子中meal tax的作用就是为了说明revenues，而并不是原文要削弱内容的关键词，所以是无关的。
A. When the state first imposed a restaurant meal tax, opponents predicted that restaurants’ revenues would decline as a result, a prediction that proved to be correct in the short term.-----无关
B. The tax on meals in restaurants is higher than the tax on many other goods and services.----无关
C. Over the last five years, smoking has steadily declined throughout Vorland.----无关
D. In many of the towns that restrict smoking in restaurants, restaurants can maintain separate dining areas where smoking is permitted.-----禁烟的餐厅也有可以抽烟的地儿，使例证中的条件不成立，从而削弱结论。
E. Over the last five years, government revenues from sales taxes have grown no faster in the towns with restaurant smoking restrictions than in the towns that have no such restrictions.----无关：这说的是增长速度。
